Jeonnam Province to Conduct 'Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Census' Until the 18th of Next Month

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 22nd that the "Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Census" will be conducted targeting approximately 210,000 agricultural, forestry, and fishery households in the province until the 18th of next month.

The Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Census is a nationwide statistical survey conducted every five years. It is an important survey that serves as the foundation for establishing rural policy by producing statistics on the scale, distribution, structure, and management types of agricultural, forestry, and fishery households in Korea, as well as economic activities and living infrastructure at the administrative-ri unit level.

This year, the province will deploy about 300 public officials and 2,200 surveyors, conducting the survey through both online and face-to-face interviews.

The online survey will be conducted non-face-to-face using the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Census website from the 23rd of this month to the 11th of next month. Residents who find it difficult to participate in face-to-face interviews or prefer the non-face-to-face method can participate in advance through the website.

The face-to-face interviews will take place from the 1st to the 18th of next month, with statistical surveyors visiting households that did not participate in the online survey to conduct the investigation.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, surveyors will comply with quarantine rules such as wearing masks and hand sanitization.

The survey content is divided into four categories: agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and regional surveys (administrative-ri unit). The survey items consist of a total of 127 questions, including the status of agricultural machinery ownership, types of livestock barns, cultivated fruit trees, livestock raised, forest area, types of fishing vessels, aquaculture species, and duration of engagement.

Myeong Changhwan, Director of Planning and Coordination at Jeonnam Province, said, "Active participation and accurate responses from residents will serve as a compass to confirm the current status of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries in Jeonnam, acting as a driving force to improve quality of life and lead Jeonnam's future. Since the survey can also be conducted non-face-to-face using the internet, we ask for widespread participation."
